German engineered cars are not only fast but too they are of precision quality.

The correct idiom structure for 'not only' is : Not Only...But Also...

a) not only fast but too they are
- has the incorrect idiom structure

b) very fast but also.
- has the incorrect idiom structure

c) so very fast that they too are
- This sounds awkward. Moreover, 'they too..' implies that something else other than the German engineered cars share the same properties that is being described in the prompt. But the prompt does not indicate what that ''something else'' is.
d) not only extremely fast but shall be - has the incorrect idiom structure

e) not only fast but also - (E) uses the right idiom structure. Hence, (E) is the right answer choice here.

Not only........ but also is a correct idiom and then we also have to look at parallelism:
which in the answer choice "E" is confusing. prepositional phrase of precision quality is acting as an adjective, but I suppose prepositional phrase parallel is a prepositional phrase only. Requesting experts for guidance
